Watercolor Hair Is Here, Because Obviously

A new way to get your rainbow fix.

We’re only 14 days into the new year and there’s already new rainbow color trend in town. Enter: watercolor hair. We ended 2K15 with a bang — glow-in-the-dark strands (really, how can you top that one?). So now, we’re ringing in 2016 with a new approach to the multicolor phenomenon.

Watercolor hair was dreamt up by Pravana artistic color director Vadre Grigsby as a way to decorate your head with many hues that have an almost translucent effect, like watercolor paintings. The soft, random bursts of color give off a brushstroke vibe. Using Pravana Vivid Locked-In shades as paint, Vivid Clear as water, and hair as the canvas, Grigsby creates her work of art by layering the colors.

While the finished result is a gorgeous blur of muted pastels…we’re still confused as to how this is really any different than the rainbow hair of yesteryear (aka a few weeks ago). Regardless, of the name, we’re still experiencing a serious case of #hairgoals.
